The second batch of flag troops did a good job in maritime support, and Chen Lin also brought about the establishment of camps in Chenlai Island along Taiwan to Luzon, which had initially achieved results. Along the way, Jilong borrowed Lindaogan, Lin Feng and others continued to develop and build stone villages, and the other seven islands along the route were Muzhai.

Use the artillery mobilized by the Nanyang Guard to set up checkpoints on each island and set up fleet patrols. The key significance of the establishment of various logistics islands is to shorten the docking intervals and reduce the dangers of the logistics fleet at sea - especially for typhoons.

Although there may be no typhoons this year.

Four thousand flag soldiers followed Sun Ao from the Nanyang Guard and arrived at Manila Bay. When they arrived, the military camps in the royal city had been completed. The Spaniards needed the mansions in the royal city to enjoy, but Chen Mu's army did not need them. He only needed the military camp. This was his military and warship distribution center and grain storage camp.

However, Sun Ao did not come, and Chen Mu asked him to hand over to Chen Lin and patrol the logistics islands so that Chen Lin could free up and participate in the next battle with Deng Zilong. After Manila started, Chen Mu was not prepared to lead the banner army to the next battle.

He wanted to eliminate the enemies on Luzon Island, welcome the merchants who came from Yuegang and Haojing, and help Suleiman handle government affairs before the arrival of the new governor. In fact, Luzon has a low degree of nationalization and no government affairs, it is all about the donkey man himself.

In addition to these, more importantly, he was preparing to send the first official document to the court of Nanyang ministers.

But the scene was a little frozen.

Just as he was excitedly holding his two shoulders as high as his shoulders, the vigorous Andalusian war horses asked his staff which one was suitable for being sent to the court and which one was suitable for being sent to the court Zhang Juzheng.

As Chen Mu thought, Andalusian horses are much harder to raise than Mongolian horses, with strong impact and tall and strong body. This is definitely the best war horse, no doubt.

But this is not the most suitable for Chen Mu, especially in the Luzon Islands, where he either sent out or rewarded these horses, without intending to hold them in his hands.

Although this is not the most suitable war horse, it is definitely the best gift.

Just as they were happy, they found that Chen Ju, Xu Wei and Zhao Shizhen looked at him with a strange look at him at the door.

One was wearing a python robe, two were wearing blue and green robes, holding folding fans, standing at the entrance of the castle with a strange look on his face. What is this scene?

"What happened?"

Zhao Shizhen shook his head first.

"What's wrong?"

Chen Mu threw the reins away. Seeing that something was wrong with these three people now, Chen Ju bowed seriously and said, "Shishou, we will enter the fort to discuss matters, can we?"

Shaking his head, Chen Mu waved his hand in a daze, "Go, go in first."

Chen Mu sat in the castle. The furnishings in the castle were still in the same way as those of the illuminated people. He made the main hall of the castle like the government lobby. After the three of them sat down, Xu Weiping stepped back and bowed to Chen Mu and said, "Chen Shuai, we are going south. Although we have direct military supervisors, we have never found any unhappiness for Chen Shuai, right?"

"No, the military officer Chen is very good. He never refuses his advice and is obsessed with military affairs. He never causes any trouble for Chen." Chen Mu looked at Chen Ju, then looked at Xu Wei and Zhao Shizhen. Both of them looked around and didn't say anything. Chen Mu knew that Chen Ju had something to do, and the two of them had some questions. He asked Chen Ju, "But why is Chen inadvertently disrespectful to the military officer?"

"That's not at all. Chen Shuai didn't say anything to us. He came to take care of him and raised an army to hide the cabin. We didn't complain about private matters."

Chen Ju waved his hand and smiled with two black teeth. Then he asked Chen Mu in a stern manner: "Let's make up for the two shogunate staff, and settle the accounts here."

He patted a book on the table, bowed to Chen Mu again, and asked, "Can you tell me, why do you want to conquer Manila through a thousand miles of expedition to the Southeast Ocean?"

Why?

Chen Mu spread his hands out in a daze and didn't say anything. Isn't this obvious enough now? His fucking money!

A dozen ships had a profit of 570,000 taels of cargo, not a large ship like the Saint-Bablo. They only had a few small battles at sea. Where would you find this if you didn’t go to Nanyang?

"Supervisor Chen dispatched troops and sent troops to spend no less than 200,000 taels of silver in the Nanyang Guard. If the number of troops increases like this, he will have to spend at least 220,000 taels of military expenditure and food and a land and armor cost of less than 100,000 taels of silver every year, and only one year's use."

"What's more, the origin of this money is not open and honest. Although the enemy country is understandable, if the general leads a fleet to attack south for money every year, there is no need to conquer Luzon and expel Western barbarians, and there is no need to launch such a large army to consume a lot."

Chen Mu was so happy when he heard this. Chen Ju was also a person with a sustainable development strategy in his heart. He regarded the Spanish as an egg-laying rooster.

But he didn't interrupt. Obviously, Chen Ju was worried that this was not the case. He had to wait until Chen Ju finished speaking and he would answer them one by one.

"If Chen Shuai plans to open a trade route in Luzon, the country has few people, and silk porcelain cannot be circulated here, and there are very few local specialties. Today, we are visiting gold, copper, iron, medicine betel nut, Guandao, pearls, tortoiseshell, yellow wax, gibberello, and the sulfur that Chen Shuai plans to transport back."

"Gold and copper are also expensive in Luzon. Betel nut pearls, pearls, and yellow wax, yellow wax, and even lilacs. Even if gold and copper are not short of them, the Ming Dynasty, why do you have to lead your army south to transport them here?" Chen Ju looked at Chen Mu with a full look of his own eyes and said, "What's more, deceive the small country and hinder Chen Shuai's wisdom!"

Chen Mu had no expression on his face. His wonderful moments had passed. Whether Chen Ju treats Western powers as laying eggs or doing market research by himself, his expression is extremely exciting. By the time he mentioned the "wisdom" that he did not seem to exist, he no longer had the ability to display his beauty skills.

He just said to Chen Ju in a confident tone: "You think I'm stupid."

Chen Ju did not show the imagined smile, did not relax because Chen Mu's denial, and his face became more solemn, just as he hoped that the general who commanded Wan Jun in front of him would be a fool who could not make up the accounts.

He paused and said, "Men really hoped that Chen Shuai was stupid. The general dispatched troops to hoard food and grass, and sent a fleet to the Nanyang Guard to bring his wife and recruit pirates such as Lin Feng, Shi He, Dao Qian and others as minions."

"The general does not seek wealth, nor does he care about his reputation. I really don't know what the general wants to do. Unless..." Chen Ju asked with a complicated face, with a little helplessness, "If Chen Zheng wants to rebel against the emperor and leave his hometown, divide the country, and use the Ming army to open private land, kill us here."

As soon as this said, even Xu Wei and Zhao Shizhen did not expect that Xu Wei's surprise was not a false appearance. Zhao Shizhen even stretched his arm forward to stop him and blurted out: "Jianjun Chen, the general has no intention!"

As he said that, Yu Guang looked at Chen Mu, but saw the donkey in the hall holding a tea bowl and slowly blowing the foam as if nothing had happened.

It seemed that he was not talking about major events like treason or treason, and even burst out laughing, shook his head and pointed at Chen Ju and said, "You still think I'm stupid."

"You don't know if you don't lead the troops. There are currently servants of Luzon, flag soldiers, battalions, pirates, and Luzon soldiers with more than 20,000. If you turn back and find the fire soldiers, you will understand. When you open your eyes every day, you will lose your military rations. Can Luzon support so many people?"

After saying this, Chen Mu looked gloomy, raised his hand and pointed at Chen Ju rudely, and pointed to the north, saying, "If you want to kill me, let these 20,000 troops starve to death here as a lonely ghost, then continue thinking this way."
